This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey
all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.

NOTICE is used to address safe use practices not related to personal injury.
• Not for use with aggressive dogs. Do not use this product if your dog is prone to
aggressive behavior. Aggressive dogs can cause severe injury or death to their
owners and others. If you are not sure that this product is right for your dog,
please talk to your veterinarian or a certified trainer.
• Risk of electric shock. Use the Fence Transmitter indoors in dry location only.
• This PetSafe ® Stay + Play Wireless Fence ™ is NOT a solid barrier. The system is
designed to act as a deterrent to remind pets by Static Correction to remain in the
boundary established. It is important that you reinforce training with your pet on a
regular basis. Since the tolerance level to Static Correction varies from pet to pet,
Radio Systems ® Corporation CANNOT guarantee that the system will, in all cases,
keep a pet within the established boundary. Not all pets can be trained to avoid
crossing the boundary! Therefore, if you have reason to believe that your pet
may pose a danger to others or harm himself if he is not kept from crossing the
boundaries, you should NOT rely solely upon the PetSafe ® Stay + Play Wireless
Fence ™ to confine your pet. Radio Systems ® Corporation shall NOT be liable for
any property damage, economic loss or any consequential damages, sustained
as a result of any animal crossing the boundary.
• Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on
the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers;
this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
- Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
- When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
this manual.
- Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive
pressure on the contacts.
- When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a
damp cloth.
- Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
- If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin
has healed.
- If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
